Question

A work by this artist was first exhibited at a site that David Allee (“AH-lee”) spent the prior year extensively photographing. A piece by this artist exhibited on the island of Hydra had its thumb tucked between two other fingers in the rude “fig” gesture. A piece by this artist, (-5[1])whose central figure was inspired by a memorial once proposed by Congressman Charles Manly Stedman, (10[1])was visited in the “We Are Here” gathering of people of color. The title of an installation by this artist refers to entremets (10[1])(“on-truh-MAY”) eaten “between servings” and features 15 “attendants” based on “blackamoor” figurines (-5[1])found on Amazon.com. A 2014 installation by this artist used 80 tons of sugar (10[5])to (10[1])cover (10[2])a (10[2])sphinx-like (10[2])“Mammy” caricature (10[1])displayed in a (-5[1])former (-5[1])Domino Sugar factory. For 10 points, name this artist who created A Subtlety and parodied stereotypical Antebellum images of Black Americans in many cut paper silhouettes. (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[1])
